Etc. Basically, psychoanalysis for everyone in the US before they are allowed to touch a gun. Your tax dollars at work trying to protect you and your family.
Or, 2, ban guns, with few reasonable exceptions. Yes, bad guys and girls may still get their hands on a gun. But with far fewer guns available, it would be more difficult to come by them. Basically few tax dollars. And, I recon, far more lives saved.
Make your choice. Lives hang in the balance.

Also, you'd know that *that* person is the bad guy, because - he's the one with the gun.

Btw....some people just use them for range and target practice. Don’t use the broad brush analogy when you clearly don’t know and can’t speak for the masses...

Got a couple of "Moderator Warnings", have ya'?

The average person riding in a boat - large or small is NOT going to give a flying, fickle finger of fate about whether a plastic store bag is SECURED or NOT. So, the wind blows it off into the ocean or lake. And that happens often enough to cause serious environmental degradation. A year or 2 ago people were volunteering to take their boat out into the Gulf to help clear an area about a mile wide of plastic and plastic bags had formed - due to some wind and tide and wave conditions.

I didn't know for certain it's from Asia, I wish I had your level of confidence in that.

Not at all. I don’t take the cheese. This thread, you’d agree, has derailed no?

You are worried about plastic bags... just checking do you use paper plates, or cups, how about utensils, or paper towels or napkins, or best are you or your grandchildren in disposable diapers??? Personally I believe this is where things need to change if you are really worried about the environment?

To get back on topic, my only point about this thread is that Florida doesn't need a state law banning plastic grocery bags.

We’re not even ‘birds’ yet. We’ve been called ‘flakes’ I’m wondering how we can compensate for the environmental damage we do in our dozen or so flights a year. 😒

We've come long way in longetivity.
Wish we weren't all so smart.

As far as longevity goes the US is concerned, in 2021 the US ranked 60th among nations at 76 years according to the World Bank. Previously, in 2016 the U S ranked 34th.

Sounds good to me.

Plasma burn plants may be capable of that, but around the globe, humans have micro-particles in their blood systems and they have had that for years. Scientists know that earthworm size has decreased in say the last decade, but they don't know WHY. Yet, they are very bothered because earthworms are ACTUALLY very, very important to AGRICULTURE.
......Incidentally, I turned on the car radio to NPR about 2 PM today and the subject was Global Warming (everyone here's favorite subject) and the statement was made that in the last 5 years that Midwest corn and wheat harvests were down 12% due to greater heat. And in the past years the US was located at the perfect latitude sweet-spot for agricultural production and human living. They said that in less than 20 years that perfect latitude will move northward with a center at about Chicago. And in about 100 years or less it may have moved northward to the border of Canada. The west has been burning and many people will move to the US northeast in the near future. Florida will NOT fare well in the future! If someone were interested, they could probably find that broadcast.

Crowd at the water cooler says not only do you point out spelling errors multiple times you PM the people chastise them that either they have lack of education, or that English is not their first language, or have a learning disability.

So your statement “You don’t normally” is quite not correct.
